Second Graders Study Printmaking

Second graders got a taste of printmaking this week. Students first used watercolor markers to create a design on plastic. Then students squirted their design with water.  Last, students placed white paper over the plastic and let the water/marker soak into the paper.  That’s it!

Kindergarten Class Learns About Shadows

Mrs. Moody’s Kindergarten Class has been learning about shadows. We investigated the questions, “How are shadows made?”, “Does our shadow change based on the time of day?” and, “Does everything make a shadow as long as it is blocking light”. We took our research outside and traced our shadows with sidewalk chalk. We also found other objects that created shadows and traced their shadows with chalk as well.

Britt McCardle Receives the Jeffs’ Best Award!

The Jeffs’ Best Award was created by the Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education to highlight and celebrate the great work of our staff.On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to congratulate Britt McCardle, Central Paraprofessional, as the recipient of the March Jeffs’ Best Award!

Brittany is incredibly friendly to the children and parents. She helps every morning with the preschool drop off and my daughter absolutely loves her!
Brittany always greets the kids with a smile and makes them feel like they have a friend in her. I’ve known Brittany for years and seeing her working at Central and doing so well with the
kids is incredibly awesome to me. I feel that she is very deserving of this award.

Congratulations, Britt!

When It’s Snowing, There’s Only One Thing to Do

In Art class first graders listened to the picturebook Snowballs, by Lois Ehlert, and were inspired to create their own snowman collages. On the first day, students painted beautiful watercolor resist backgrounds (using white crayons to draw snowflakes) and sprinkled the wet, painted paper with salt which created a speckled texture. The next class period students chose from a variety of materials to make their own unique snowman. As you can see, the boys and girls were very proud of their masterpieces!
